What happens here

The process begins by introducing the manufacturing team members: Lucas (co-owner and Director of Special Projects), Nick Stuart (Mechanical Engineer), Blake Strait (co-owner and Chief Mechanical Engineer), and Jeff Sexton (Factory Manager). They welcome the viewer and provide an overview of the facility and the production capabilities. The initial stage involves bringing in large quantities of raw materials, including 20-foot sticks of steel tube, flat bar, and angle iron, as well as 20-foot by 8-foot wide sheets of steel, ranging in thickness from 1/8 inch to 1 1/2 inches. These raw materials are the foundation for building the snowplow components.

Goal: Receive and prepare raw steel materials for processing into snow plow components.

Tools and materials

  • Angle Iron Steel — Reinforcement and structural elements
  • Flat Bar Steel — Various structural and support elements
  • Steel Sheets — Fabricating larger curved components like moldboards and other flat parts
  • Steel Tube — Structural components of the snowplow frame
